In this episode, Patrick McGguire from Thompson’s solicitors who works closely with the POA in Scotland explains why any POA member with any legal issue whatsoever should think first of approaching the union’s legal services, and why using “high street, fat cat, no win, no fee” outfits will end up costing members more for an inferior service. Patrick also shares the results of detailed market research on union legal services which shows around trade union members in Scotland alone losing £3m a year in compensation in avoidable legal fees, and AGS Mick Pimblett tells about some important developments in how members access the union’s legal services.
